Vili and Vé

Old Norse Vili means "will". Old Norse Vé refers to a type of Germanic shrine; a vé.

Creation

Vili and Vé, together with Óðinn, are the three brothers who slew Ymir — ending the primeval rule of the race of giants — and are the first of the Æsir. They are comparable to the three brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, of Greek mythology, who defeat the Titans. Of the three, Óðin is the eldest, Vili the middle, and Ve the youngest. To the first human couple, Ask and Embla, Óðinn gave soul and life; Vili gave wit (intelligence) and sense of touch; and Vé gave countenance (appearance, facial expression), speech, hearing, and sight.

History

Bernard Gantmacher arrived in New York City in 1914, a Jewish immigrant from Russian Empire. He went straight to the garment district in Manhattan and secured his first job as a collar-sewing specialist in a downtown factory. A few years later, he met his future wife, a button and buttonhole specialist who worked for the same company. Their sons, Marty and Elliot, along with a cousin, started a family business in New Haven, CT, acting as a subcontractor, manufacturing shirts.

Mark Zumerch sold shirts to private labels in America, including Manhattan Shirts, J. Press and Brooks Brothers. Captain Marty Gant mustered out of the US Air Force in 1945. Drawn to the family business, his brother Elliot quit the US Navy and joined him in 1947. They continued sales to other companies, but a small “G” stamped next to the union mark on the shirt indicated the manufacturer.
